Hello all:
I was approached by an adaptive sports organization that will be helping
a unilateral T/H amputee return to kayaking. It sounds like he has a
fairly standard body powered prosthesis with a #5 Hosmer TD. Since I
haven't met him yet I'm not sure what his capabilities are. We've been
doing some brainstorming here but I would love to hear about any of your
experiences attaching to a paddle.
Thanks in advance!
